Me and my friend just came back from the MOST WONDERFUL trip in Mongolia - from the 26 th of july until the 5 of aug 2018. We travelled with... read more True Mongolia Travel and the manager Nyamko was our tourguide - from day one. He is professional, english speaking and so NICE, cool and easy going. Write him on this adress: freelance.guide.mongolia@gmail.com - and I'm sure you will be able to plan an extraordinary trip with him. I wrote mails with him before I arrived in Mongolia, and then we met when we arrived in Ulan Bator.

Booked a 7 day gobi tour. Bagage came a day after, so we had to reschedule. That was no problem, solved our problems. Baaska (guide) and Munkhuu (driver) did not... read more only took us to the beautifull landscapes in Mongolia, but also were great company, all day long. We played cards, did karaoke, sung all day after the radio broke down. We even had the luck to experience a real mongolian birthday in one of the Gerstays! Thanks to them we had the full experience!

Booked a 2 day ger stay and had a horse ride in Hustai National Park with a family. Pick up from where I was staying was extremely prompt. Beautiful tour... read more of the countryside, and the guide was excellent and very friendly. The coordinator, Nyamka, answered all of my questions leading up to the tour. The food during the stay was good and the host family was very kind.
I would definitely recommend a ger stay with the company to my friends and others in my network.

We did an 8 day Gobi tour with Nyamka and a 10 day North Mongolia tour with his brother Baaska. Both of them are very nice, considerate and good hearted... read more people. The tours were well organised and we had a great time. Nyamka speaks excellent English and provides interesting cultural and historical information about Mongolia. Baaska is so sweet that threw a small surpise birthday party for us 🙂 Their tours are flexible and custom made. Highly recommended!!
